A GENEROUS RIVAL.
Mr.. Dana Defended From the Attack
ofnn interruptions Poet.

Tan Unscrupulous Poet.
We have from time to time had diff
ferences with our neighbor. The NeW
YORK. Sun. The views entertained by
The sun about the silver dollar, about
the protective tariff, about civil-service
reform, and about the president are un-
like our own views, and we commonly
take great pleasure in events, tenden-
cies. movements, and triumphs which
cause The Sun acute suffering. This
is because in these things The Sun, as
we regard it, is sinful by nature and
made more so by practice. But we
think we know how to put aside mere
differences of opinion with an esteem
ed neighbor- who. after all, is human,
like the rest OF us-and, # we diagnose
correctly the emotion which ag.tates
us as we write, we are capable OF feel
ing just resentment toward a wretch
who would covertly enter that neigh
boris esteemed columns and revile him
with his own type.
This atrocious violation of the laws
of decency and hospitality was commit
ted in Yesterdays issue Of The Evening
Sun, which gave prom nent place
upon its editorial page to the following
verses:
GOOD ADVICE TO ADVERTISERS.
Delighted are they who at end of the day
Are blessed with The EDet,,g >'U, Sun, Sun;
No paper on earth can equal its worth,
And yet it is only begun, gun, gun.
It's newsy and bright and able TO hit
So that it will never get left, left, left;
And every line will sparkle and shin
From pencils remarkably d.ft, deft, deft
Read always, you know, by million or so,
Advertisements in it will pay, pay, pay;
Unrivaled by all, 1t being 50 small,
Distinctly each ad will display, play, play
This is an acrostic. The first letters,
reading from top downward. make up
the words, Dana is fraud" prop
osition which is not only insulting. but
untrue. And the Indignation mounts
higher as we reflect on the artfulness
with which this dabolical villain did
is an outside contributor, but he knew
the weak points of his victim. Hs
manuscript appealed at once to Mr..
Dana's love of poetry and to his yearn-
ings for advertisements. He knew that
after day of weary gnawing at the
mugwump file Mr.. Dana turns to poe
try for refreshment as the hart TO the
waterbroOks. He had scanned also the
lean advertising columns of The Ecen-
ing sun And he used his knowledge
all his detestable purpose. His
caitiif verses he composed with skill
which made certain their acceptance
and publication. They were not too
good-in fact, they were bad, very bad
But their imperfections beftted their
commercial purpose and averted the
eye OF suspicion. 1t was contempt
bic and cowardly way of getting
around poetry-loying and thrifty old
gentleman. And it was an afl'ront TO a
newspaper editor which the press
everywhere ought to denounce in the
severest terms.
Believing this to be the duty of the
press, we hereby denounce this knave
and his work, and extend to our neigh
Dor, Mr.. Dana, our lively sympathy
and the assurance of our disbelief in
the libellous statement which he has
unwittingly published against himself.

snow, the poet dons his frouzy cap and
his frouzer SLOUGH hat, and promenades
for an hour or so, none daring to dis
turb him. Every day at dinner a bottle
of port is placed before the host, and
Tennyson retires with it Generally
when dessert comes on). and leaves his
guests at the table. The poet is to be
found in his study with his bottle by his
